And Applications — Hydrometallurgy: Principles

: Adding reagents to force metals out of the solution as solid compounds. Industrial Applications

: Dissolved metals are separated from impurities.

: Commonly uses sulfuric acid for copper and uranium.

: Methods vary from Heap Leaching (spraying ore heaps) to Autoclave Leaching (high-pressure vessels).

: Employs specialized resins to adsorb specific ions from the solution.

: The final stage where the metal is returned to a solid, purified form.
